Top pick: #7 (ZINDAYA) (5-2) - She's finished second in both starts, the latest coming here at this level and distance on Dec. 8. That was her first since debuting on Aug. 21 at Saratoga and she's been working fast since. The winner of her latest returned to take another last week and looks stakes bound in the near future. Trainer Chris Clement adds lasix (26%) and this daughter of "More Than Ready" is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Henry's Song) (3-1) - She's from the same barn as "Zindaya" and moves up in class after finishing second here when debuting for a $50K tag at this trip on Jan. 15. She's worked fine since and filly moves from the 12 post to the two slot.
3rd pick: #3 (The Careless Cat) (4-1) - Daughter of "Tale of the Cat" hasn't raced since debuting in a grass sprint at Saratoga on July 22nd. Filly raced evenly that day and was beaten 4 1/2 lengths in a good effort. Working fast at Palm Meadows for her return and trainer Graham Motion looks like he has her set to contend.
4th pick: #5 (Wickedness) (6-1) - Filly by "War Front" cost $220K as a yearling and makes her debut off of some solid looking drills. In a capable barn (Mike Hushion) and this filly can factor if ready.
